Chapter 966 (2/2)

”Your Highness Xiao Zhong.” According to the eunuch closer to the door, he kept watching downstairs. When he saw a middle-aged man about 50 years old coming in, he immediately turned his head and said to Li Ye, who was looking at the list.

”You go down and ask him to come up. By the way, you don't have to tell him that his father is here.” When Li Ye left Li Hong's side to do things alone, he also seemed quite steady and decisive. His handsome face always seemed more serious.There was also no airtight wall above the court hall. Li Hong was telling Chen Jingzhi that he intended to work for Li Ye in the three departments of the Ministry of administration, the Ministry of war and the Ministry of household affairs, which had begun to spread among the ministers.

Therefore, although Li Ye, the doctor, has not taken office yet, after the court meeting held yesterday, the memorial for Chen Jingzhi has gone from Zhongshu and menxia provinces to Shangshu provincial official department.

The next step is to wait for the next court meeting. After Li Hong and Zhu's approval, Li Ye can take office.

Although he is his own boss, but Li Ye is also the prince, so Xiao Zhizhong can't afford to meet his boss or colleagues in person. It's OK to let the eunuchs around him greet him.

”Mr. Xiao Ye.” After Xiao Zhizhong came in, Li Ye immediately stood up and saluted. Compared with his father and emperor, Li Ye was much more comfortable and smooth.

Unlike his father and emperor, when all the courtiers met Li Hong, they had to be worried. Who knows when the prince will dig a hole for himself and whether he will suddenly find trouble for himself.

In the early years, when Prince Li Hong was in charge of the country, all of them were important officials and pillars of the state. As Li Zhi's ministers, they had to listen not only to Li Zhi, but also to the prince's Royal Highness who violated the rules and regulations and carried out drastic reforms.

Although it is said that the batch of old ministers was fed up with between the crown prince and the emperor, it is also because of the flexibility of the old ministers of that generation in those years, or in other words, under the strong pressure of his majesty, he followed his majesty to create a great cause and a prosperous age of peace in the Tang Dynasty.

”Minister Xiao Zhizhong met his highness Ye.” Xiao Zhizhong hastened to salute. These days, it is indeed quite awkward, and the relationship between them is rather awkward.

No monarch is not subject, and there is no relationship between the upper and lower levels, so the salute and speech are somewhat awkward.

However, there was no tedious courtesies between the two men, and then they went straight to the theme. After the two men sat down according to their monarchs and ministers, Li Ye handed the list he had just read to Xiao Zhizhong.

Xiao Zhizhong also took out a list from his arms and handed it to Li Ye: ”Your Highness, this is the information about the officials, nobles and aristocratic families who have been dismissed in recent years. The earliest thing was five years ago, so I think it must be enough today.”

”Thank you, Mr. Xiao. This is the first job that my father gave to Li Ye. I'm afraid it will go wrong, so I have to harass Mr. Xiao.” Li Ye took over the list naturally.

In fact, this is also his helpless move. The original list of officials, powerful families and prominent families who have been dismissed, exiled and assigned in recent years was also included in the Ministry of punishment. However, Cui Xin would refuse to accept Li Ye's reputation when he was about to rise.

Therefore, Li ye had no choice but to find his own way. In addition, his aunt Bai was helping him. Naturally, things got twice the result with half the effort.

”Lord Xiao, it's OK to say something directly.” Before Li Ye looked at the list, he saw that Xiao Zhizhong's face was becoming more and more melancholy. At a young age, he knew how to observe his words and expressions. So he pressed down his curiosity about the list and asked with a smile.

”I don't need to look at this list. Many of the names on it are familiar to me. Although some of them haven't had time to name them, don't your highness think that the names of Wang, Lu and Cui are all related to the five surnames and seven hopes?” Xiao Zhizhong smiles bitterly and shakes his head, and then returns the list in his hand to Li Ye, who has stretched out his hand.

On the other side of the room, Li Hongduan was sitting in the middle, while Yan Lingbin was serving him on the other side, while Wang Xiaojie sat a little farther away. The clerk who was awarded a hundred taels of silver coins by Yan Lingbin did not have to wait for orders. According to the treatment and standard of the nobles, excellent tea and snacks were placed on the table.

Yan Lingbin, after all, has been in Huafang, so she has a different way of how to deal with the clerks. After years of close contact with Li Hong, she has become more and more local tyrants. That is to say, to see such a low looking fellow, you need not talk nonsense and just take money.

Li Hong casually flipped through the list on the record table. Each room had a copy of the list. Similarly, even the three tables downstairs could have one for each person, but they had to pay for it.

Looking at the man left, Li Hongcai said: ”Wang Xiaojie, your punishment department is very derelict of duty now. You, the Secretary of the military department, have been working for so many years, don't you want to do it now?”

”Your Majesty, I don't know...”

”Take a look at this list yourself. The matter of five surnames and seven hopes has just passed. Di Renjie, you and Zhang Zhangzhi, who succeeded the doctor of imperial historian Li Qiao, do something about it? Look, this special event has not been half a year in the past, and the family members of the five surnames and seven hopes have already been in the hands of the toothshop! You are the supervisor and slave of the criminal department. That's how you failed to supervise! ” Said finally, Li Hong unexpectedly regardless of the status, regardless of the occasion, the list in hand fell on Wang Xiaojie's body.

Yan Lingbin on one side has never met Li Hong who is angry. When she just heard the anger in Li Hong's tone, her heart was already trembling. When she saw Li Hong lift her hand to drop the list on Wang Xiaojie, Yan Lingbin was almost frightened and screamed.
